Coast Guard, Lions player Israel Idonije team up for water safety

The US Coast Guard Detroit has teamed up with Lions player Israel Idonije to promote water safety.

With recent drownings across the Great Lakes, and through a partnership with the Israel Idonije Foundation, a video was created to help pass along valuable safety information to swimmers, boaters and beachgoers across Michigan.

In the video, Idonije encourages people to wear a life jacket, never swim alone, and be aware of shallow water and rip currents.
